Assignment #2: Oral Presentation of Media Portfolio

This is an individual presentation completed along with Portfolio group members. As students work in
their media portfolio groups, they will gain experience about working with their colleagues (process
issues such as leadership, division of labour, group dynamics etc.), media product and its use and
individual learning outcomes (knowledge, attitude and skills). Each student will prepare and present (in
3 minutes) on these three issues of media portfolio. While some experience may be at group level (e.g.
common to members) each member should be able to identify specific experience. Therefore, you need
to be creative about how you identify your learning experience, and content of your presentation.
